The herd mentality

You look out over a pasture and see a couple hundred cows eating grass in the partially green field, lying around in the mud.  
Then you see the farmer go out on horse or tractor and start to bring them in from the fields.  Woo hoo, it's feeding time!  The cows get fed the oats that with make the cows produce more milk than normal, then get milked for all their worth. 
Now they get to lye in their beds a fresh hay and wait for the sun to rise. 

So what does this have in common with you?
